Root Named 'The People's Choice' on HLN
Related Links
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Crusader freshman libero Taylor Root (Jenison, Mich./Jenison) has been named 'The People's Choice' this week on the Horizon League Network, and is spotlighted in the featured video on the HLN website via phone interview.
'The People's Choice' is a weekly segment on HLN that allows fans to choose which athlete they believed had the most outstanding week among the Horizon League's Athletes of the Week. Voting is open from Monday around noon through Tuesday afternoon each week, with an interview with the winner posted on HLN Thursday afternoon. Root beat out Butler's Boris Gatzky (men's soccer), Milwaukee's Sarah Hagen (women's soccer) and Cleveland State's Beth Greulich (volleyball) for this week's honor. The freshman is Valpo's second honoree this season, joining Angie Porché, who won the accolade in its first week.
Root received Defensive Player of the Week accolades last week after tallying 90 digs over four Valpo wins, including a school-record 31 for a three-set match against Green Bay. She currently leads all Horizon League players with 4.86 digs/set on the season. In her interview with HLN's Damon Lewis, Root talks about her performances last week, as well as how she chose to come to Valpo to play volleyball and what it's been like to step right in to the Crusaders' starting lineup as a freshman.

A Royal Gift: The 1826 Porcelain Jewel Cabinet
This cabinet was a royal gift of state given by Charles X of France to Francis I, King of the Two Sicilies in 1830. Six feet high, made of mahogany and fitted with painted plaques, the cabinet was created under the supervision of Alexandre Brongniart, director of the Royal Porcelain Factory of Sèvres. Original sketches and drawings are on display which show the process of the cabinet's design, as well as wallpapers and textiles that might have been used to decorate the room in which the cabinet was kept.

Hepatic encephalopathy is a worsening of brain function that occurs when the liver is no longer able to remove toxic substances in the blood.
Hepatic coma; Encephalopathy - hepatic
Hepatic encephalopathy is caused by disorders that affect the liver. These include disorders that reduce liver function (such as cirrhosis
or hepatitis
) and conditions in which blood circulation does not enter the liver. The exact cause of hepatic encephalopathy is unknown.
An important job of the liver is to change toxic substances that are either made by the body or taken into the body (such as medicines) and make them harmless. However, when the liver is damaged, these "poisons" may build up in the bloodstream.
Ammonia, which is produced by the body when proteins are digested, is one of the harmful substances that is normally made harmless by the liver. Many other substances may also build up in the body if the liver is not working well. They can cause damage to the nervous system.
Hepatic encephalopathy may occur suddenly in people who previously had no liver problems when damage occurs to the liver. More often, the condition is seen in people with chronic liver disease.
Hepatic encephalopathy may be triggered by:
Disorders that can mimic or mask symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include:
Hepatic encephalopathy may occur as an acute
, potentially reversible disorder. Or it may occur as a chronic
, progressive disorder that is associated with chronic liver disease.
Symptoms many begin slowly and gradually worsen, or they may begin suddenly and be severe from the start.
Symptoms may be mild at first. Family members or caregivers may notice that the patient has:
More severe symptoms may include:
Patients with hepatic encephalopathy can become unconscious, unresponsive, and possibly enter a coma.
Patients with hepatic encephalopathy are often not able to care for themselves because of these symptoms.
Nervous system signs may change. Signs include:
Tests may include:
Hepatic encephalopathy may become a medical emergency. Hospitalization is required.
The first step is to identify and treat any factors that may have caused hepatic encephalopathy.
Gastrointestinal bleeding must be stopped. The intestines must be emptied of blood. Infections, kidney failure, and electrolyte abnormalities (especially potassium) need to be treated.
Life support may be necessary to help with breathing or blood circulation, particularly if the person is in a coma. The brain may swell, which can be life-threatening.
Patients with severe, repeated cases of encephalopathy may be told to reduce protein in the diet to lower ammonia production. However, dietary counseling is important, because too little protein in the diet may cause malnutrition
. Critically ill patients may need specially formulated intravenous
or tube feedings.
Lactulose may be given to prevent intestinal bacteria from creating ammonia, and as a laxative to remove blood from the intestines. Neomycin may also be used to reduce ammonia production by intestinal bacteria. Rifaximin, a new antibiotic, is also effective in hepatic encephalopathy.
Sedatives, tranquilizers, and any other medications that are broken down by the liver should be avoided if possible. Medications containing ammonium (including certain antacids) should also be avoided. Other medications and treatments may be recommended. They may have varying results.
Acute hepatic encephalopathy may be treatable. Chronic forms of the disorder often keep getting worse or continue to come back.
Both forms may result in irreversible coma and death. Approximately 80% (8 out of 10 patients) die if they go into a coma. Recovery and the risk of the condition returning vary from patient to patient.
Call your health care provider if any change in mental state or other nervous system problem occurs, particularly if there is a known or suspected liver disorder. Hepatic encephalopathy can rapidly get worse and become an emergency condition.
Treating liver disorders may prevent some cases of hepatic encephalopathy. Avoiding heavy drinking and intravenous drug use can prevent many liver disorders.
If there are any nervous system symptoms in a person with known or suspected liver disease, call for immediate medical attention.

Airstream Lifestyle Is Pilot's Lifestyle
March 11, 2011 | by Becky Blanton
Chuck List, 41, lives in one silver aluminum tube, a 2005 International CCD Airstream, and works in another, a commercial airplane. List, a pilot for SkyWest Airlines, is living the Airstream adventure in a way few do: He works 16 to 18 days a month, usually four days at a time, flying around the country. Then he returns to his Airstream to continue his journey on the ground.
"It's almost a moral imperative to live like this," he said. "The airline provides me the kind of things I need to sustain a mobile lifestyle. I don't have to think about going home at the end of a trip. I can just jumpseat anywhere in the country for free and that gets me back to wherever I want to go. When most people end their vacation, they have to think about flying home and going back to work. For me, it's like going to work then flying back to my vacation."
Thanks to his acquisition of an Airstream last year, he can travel on the ground portion of his life in style. "I was a voracious VW Westfalia fan for years. I would park my van at the nearest airport, jumpseat to where I was flying, then jumpseat back to wherever I left my van and keep going," List said. "Then I realized I had a really unique ability to stay out on the road. The whole idea of paying heat and cooling on a house when I'm only there on an average of six or seven days a month—I decided to just move into an Airstream. It's so iconic. It's so esthetically pleasing. It wasn't a hard choice."
Last year List bought an International CCD, making the jump from van to Airstream. Like many who see the CCD, he preferred its modern lines, and the well-designed and luxurious interior. He took a month off from hiking and traveling to put a cork floor in the trailer and add bamboo countertops, making it uniquely his. And now, he says he loves it even more. List also loves to ski, bike, and hike. He enjoys his time off and the Airstream fits hand-in-glove with his passions.
"I'm a big skier. I'm a lifestyle guy. That's why I bought the Airstream," he said. "I wanted to have a nice place to live and a place to store my equipment—the bikes, skis and gear." He stores the gear in his Toyota Tundra, and calls the Airstream base camp.
List parks his Airstream around the country – typically for a month at a time at any one place. He dry-camps, off the grid. He has the freedom to move from warm to cold, but prefers to leave the trailer in warmer climates so the water doesn't freeze when he's away working.
"Keep in mind I fly 16 to 18 days a month," he said. The rest of that month is spent in the area exploring, hiking, cycling and enjoying the great outdoors. Don't worry: He doesn't get lonely. He's dating a doctor who works half-time and shares his passion for the outdoors and the mobile lifestyle. "She likes the same things, sports, the outdoors," he said. "We are always off doing something, kite boarding, surfing, hiking, something."
List was in Montana most of the summer, Utah in November.
His coworkers don't think it's odd at all. In fact, they're joining him. "I know about three other airline people who are starting to do the same thing," he said. "They realized the freedom an Airstream can give you too. Once you work for this industry you realize how easily you can get around. You can take advantage of the opportunities and really enjoy them. This is a lifestyle industry and Airstream supports that."
Highlands or Lowlands, An Airstream Still Shines
March 10, 2011 | by Tom Bentley
"Everything" in Donaldson's case was the purchase of 2010 Airstream International 534 for the couple's old-country traveling pleasures. But that purchase was just the beginning: Donaldson now owns TrailerFlash, which rents a 534 out for excursions all over the island. "We wanted to share this experience and let others enjoy Scotland—the scenery, castles, restaurants—in the comfort of a silver bullet. Whether driving an hour away—golfing in St Andrews—or 10 hours away—walking in the romantic Isle of Skye—the Airstream experience is superb," says Donaldson.
Though the company has only been in business for a few months, their customers are enthralled. As one of their site testimonials stated: "Wow, as cool inside as out. Chilled out all week in the great outdoors with all the comforts of a luxury pad." And luxury pad it is, though the Donaldsons haven't made any modifications to the trailer, which already includes items like a flat-panel TV and leather-upholstered lounge area. They do provide luxuriant bedding, outdoor furniture, and a generous welcome pack that includes a selection of Scottish delicacies including wine, local cheeses, shortbread, and as Donaldson says, "…and of course a fine dram of Scottish whisky from the local distillery to hopefully set the mood for a great vacation!"
The site advertises "bespoke itineraries," where the company provides advice and bookings for local restaurants and special venues like distillery visits. One of the more striking Airstream vacations that could be had through TrailerFlash would have to be a trip to one of Scotland's fascinating and beautiful islands. Some, like Skye, are famous and others like Mull and Harris not so much, but all are splendid. Most of those trips would require a ferry ride, which of course the company arranges, at an additional cost. Depending on the season, a weekly rental would be around $1,250 in U.S. dollars, with delivery costs extra. The company delivers the trailer to the agreed site, and doesn't allow towing by renters.
Being the only Airstream rental service in Scotland doesn't mean the Donaldsons will be resting on their laurels. They intend to have a range of Airstream models available as they move into the year. Donaldson knows they've got a good thing going: "Airstreams are just a totally unique American design. Our customers love the luxury inside and the way the silver bullets turn heads."
It's probably just as well that the renters don't drive the trailers, with the temptation of that wee dram available. Heads will be turning, and happily so.

Don't Wait to Retire Before You Start RV'ing
March 9, 2011 | by Becky Blanton
The Hackings took their own advice and bought their first Airstream, a 1974 27' International Land Yacht they purchased in 1988. The couple, both former Canadian government workers, retired in 2005. They're now on their 5th Airstream, a 2005 34' Classic. Canadian residents, the Hackings head south for the winter each year.
"There are basically three choices for staying warm in the winter," Carolyn said. "Florida, Texas or Arizona." The Hackings like Arizona because of family and friends in the area, but they've been to California and Florida as well. Heading south later in the year means most of the usual tourist attractions are closed for the season, but the Hackings say there are still unusual attractions to explore. "We did find a psychiatric museum open," she laughed. "It was interesting to see all the ways people used to be treated for mental illnesses, how they were treated and restrained."
Retirement doesn't mean life slows down. "John rides his bike every morning with some of the other men in the park, and we travel and do something just about every day," Carolyn said. Having started traveling while they still worked, the couple got to see much of the United States long before they retired. When they finally did retire, they made friends and discovered places they wanted to spend more time visiting. "It's one of the best advantages of starting early," Carolyn said.
Pre-Retirement RV'ing Tips
Don't wait until you retire to try RV'ing. If you don't like it as much as you thought, at least you know it early enough to plan on doing something else after you retire. If you love it, who knows? You may quit your job and find a way to do it full-time and discover a whole new life!
Before looking at a trailer, decide what you will use it for. Do you plan to take it out for weekends, weeks or months at a time? Will you be full-timing? Based on how much time you plan to spend in the trailer, decide how much storage space you'll need.
RVs don't have as much closet and storage space as a house, but they should have enough for the clothing and items you need. Measure the width of the closet and count the drawers and storage. Compare layouts and take your time deciding. Sit down at the table, stretch out on the bed, stand in the bathroom, and generally just get a "feel" for the floorplan.
Don't be afraid to sell your trailer after a couple of years if you're not happy with it. You learn something new with each model you own and someone will be thrilled to have your trailer, just as you'll love getting a new one yourself.
An Airstream Brings Clarity
February 28, 2011 | by Becky Blanton
Opposites attract, and the spark of their different lifestyles may have played a role in their initial vision of what constituted happiness, Deke admitted. "I've always lived a pretty simple lifestyle," Tiffani said. "And I've always been a huge consumer. Loved my toys," Deke said. He admitted he had expensive tastes and was a major consumer of anything electronic. "When I moved into Tiffani's apartment after we got married I think the electric bill quadrupled," he said.
Tiffani's 600-square foot, one bedroom apartment proved too small for two adults—one with an addiction to electronics and computers, plus their dog, and their combined furniture, books and clothes. They did what any young married couple did: they went out and bought a larger condo, 2.5 bedrooms, to hold all their stuff. Then they continued to do what many married couples in their early 30s do—accumulate more stuff in pursuit of happiness.
"We were both working and doing our thing," Deke said, "And then we took a vacation and everything changed." In 2009 they took a trip to a little island off the Yucatan Peninsula called Isla Holbox. They spent a week without phones, work, office pressures and stress. In the place of stress they found people who "exuded fulfilled lives."
"It was great," Tiffani said. "We just fell in love with the simplicity." She had always loved simplicity, but as a couple they'd never experienced such happiness in just being together, being with friends and seeing the possibilities of a life different than what they were living.
"I couldn't believe how many of the people we met were truly happy, I mean soulfully content. And they weren't living anything like we were in Chicago. We talked about it on the way home and decided then to simplify our lives," Deke said. "For the first time, my wife and I clearly saw what's possible when you find a way to follow your passion and do exactly what you love all day, every day."
Once they got home they created a 5-year plan for their lives, along with a list of "must haves," for the relationship.
- We want to spend more quality time with each other.
- We want to travel and experience more.
- We want enough money to afford the lifestyle that makes us most content.
- We want to work less for other people, more for ourselves.
- We want to enjoy our waking hours, not dread them.
- We want to leave a small environmental footprint on the places we live and visit.
They also wanted to travel. So they decided an Airstream was the best solution to living and working the dream life. They already owned a 22' Airstream and considered living in it full-time, but decided to upgrade to a new 27-foot Airstream CCD.
While the two waited on delivery of their new trailer they began the big purge of their condo. A lifelong consumer, Deke admitted that he was a "stuff collector," and had brought his materialism into the marriage. "We realized we were just collecting a lot of material things and we didn't need them. They weren't what was really important to us," Deke said. "The mortgage, car payments, furniture, books, clothes—everything added up to more stuff."
For the next year they sold everything they could and gave away what they couldn't sell. They rented their condo and have begun moving to their new Airstream, at an RV park in Texas. Even with their life in boxes and more things to do before the big move, they're still excited about their adventure.
To help make it easier for others who want to simplify as well, the couple started a blog (at weaselmouth.com) about the process: where to sell things, how to purge, and life as full-timers working full-time jobs while living in a mostly permanent location.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Neat-opolitan Chocolate Cake
The cake trifecta.
Three flavors in one bite. Chocolate cake, fresh strawberry buttercream, all covered in Madagascar vanilla butter- cream frosting.
The pastry magicians at Zingerman's Bakehouse love baking cakes above all else. Wedding cakes, birthday cakes, coffee cakes, everyday cakes—whenever there are cakes to bake you can bet they'll be excited and what comes out of the oven will be incredibly tasty. The fondant cakes like our birthday cake are the show-stoppers, with their intricate decorations. Coffeecakes are our everyday best sellers. But here in Ann Arbor, special occasions are marked most often by buttercream cakes.
The showpiece on this cake is traditional buttercream frosting. Swiss style, it's made by whipping fresh eggs and sugar into a meringue, then mixing in real Wisconsin butter and Madagascar vanilla. Our cakes are also marked by what they don't contain: no artificial anything, no mixes, no shortening. These are the ingredients your grandmother would use when she baked.
Ships frozen. Remove the plastic while cold, then defrost and serve at room temperature for maximum flavor and attractiveness.
Robert Lambert's Rare Citrus Fruit Cake
A cake of a different caliber.
Full disclosure: the price on this cake may cause sticker shock. Where most fruit cakes are cheap, somewhat industrial and terrible, this is another species altogether. It's by far the best of its kind I've ever tried. Robert explains, "The recipe is British, Victorian era. It's based on my grandmother Floria's cakes, but instead of the store-bought glaceed fruits she used, I make my own candied fruit." He chooses blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes and more, many that he picks himself. Each cake is soaked in cognac and aged for a few months, then garnished with a slice of candied lemon and a bay leaf, all wrapped gently in cheese cloth.
A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—he recommends serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and tastes fresh, clean and lively. Each cake is about six inches long, comes in a muslin bag with a drawstring, and serves 8 to 10.
"Extraordinary." "One of a kind."

Not inscribed
23 photographs mounted on card, each 16 1/2 × 21 3/8 (42.4 × 54.6)
Photographer Janet Anderson
Purchased from the Institute of Contemporary Arts (Grant-in-Aid) 1981
Exh: Stuart Brisley, ICA, April–May 1981 (exhibits not numbered, no.86 in chronology; one photograph repr.)
'Beneath Dignity, Bregenz' (1977) was performed in conjunction with an exhibition of British art in Austria (Englishe Kunst der Gegenwart in September 1971); Brisley was invited by Norbert Lynton to take part. Brisley had worked during this year on an Artist Placement Group project in Peterlee in a community of miners and the title is indicative of his sympathy with the miners, and the lowness (and implied loneliness) of their working conditions. The work that preceded it had a similar preoccupation with digging and working in appalling conditions… (read more)

well lit area - great access back to interstate 77 after the Acc Championship game and was only 3 block walk to downtown and 4 to the stadium
We could not find the lot that we were suppose to go to (lot at 152 N Pine St.). We stopped to ask for directions at another Park-wiz lot which was closer to the stadium. They were not able to give us directions, but allowed us to stay in their lot which was closer to the stadium and they were very helpful. We were not the only ones that had the same problem.
Good place-safe-attendant helpful-not far from stadium--price good--easy to leave enter ---would recommend
Very close and clean!!

Wayzata >Food & Dining > Blue Point Restaurant & Bar
739 Lake St E, Wayzata, MN | Directions 5539144.969099 -93.510453
Mon - Thu, 4pm - 9pm; Fri, Sat, 4pm - 9:30pm; Sun, closed
Neighborhoods: Plymouth - Wayzata
Very Disapponting – This used to be my favorite restaurant when I lived in Plymouth. I recently returned for the summer (and will be coming back every year) and took a friend there for dinner. The food was extremely disappointing. I ordered seared tuna with sir fried vegetables and received a grey piece of fish on a soggy mess of vegetables swimming in a salty sauce. My friend's dinner was only slightly better -- overcooked fish on a small heap of (tasty) mashed potatoes. Both plates looked "slapped together" and not very appetizing. At the prices, I expected more -- we will scratch this restaurant off our list.
A Great Place and a Solid "Very Good" – My wife and I went here for the first time on our anniversary. My wife does not eat red meat, but loves seafood. We were both very impressed.
The restaurant is inviting and open. We didn't spend much time in the bar, but it looked very nice. We were dressed up, but it's not overly fancy.
The food was a solid "very good". My dish was fantastic and my wife's was also very good. The prawns were a bit "blackened" for her liking, but she finished everything so it must not have been that bad.
The service was fantastic!
We will be back for sure! Thanks for the great evening.
They live up to their name. – It was a dark and stormy night . . .. Actually, it was. Saturday, 11 August. Rain, lightning. But our group of five was happily indoors, quite dry (until the martinis and wine arrived). Our appetizers were the ubiquitous fried calamari, Dungeness crab cakes, and seared scallops with polenta. While ubiquitous, the calamari were among the best we've had, and the scallops were very nicely done, with the polenta a nice touch. My wife and I lived in Seattle for a time and frequently partook of the joys of Dungeness crab which we regard as slightly superior to the eastern blue crab. The crab cakes here, 1700 miles east, were outstanding, as was the sauce. (A quibble: it's advertised as fresh, but it can't be at this time of year.) The Caesar salad is advertised as assertively garlicly, which is precisely the way I like it. The table bread was certainly edible, but many restaurants have better. Now for the entrees: three people got the shellfish saffron risotto, of which I had a taste. It was very good, but short of the pinnacle of the risotto art achieved by Pazzaluna in St Paul. Another had the Dungeness cioppino. She was too busy slurping the broth, her head almost in the bowl, to comment. Actions spoke louder than words. My entree was roasted monkfish with chorizo. A nicely sized piece of a fish not frequently found on local menus, very tasty. Alas, perhaps since I didn't get a dessert, my memory of the others' comments on the final course has vanished. The service was a bit slow but didn't descend to the level of serious annoyance. The server did seem rather humorless but certainly not unfriendly. The ambience is very pleasant. Notwithstanding its Wayzata location, I detected no pretension whatever on the part of either patrons or staff. In fact, on this hot, humid, and stormy evening, many were wearing shorts including the author of these words. For the seafood lover, this is a very good destination in the Metro area to satisfy such a craving.
Great food and customer service – Awesome world class food, super customer service, lots of TLC inspired me to submit my first foodie feedback post ever. Our uncle had a stroke recently, and though it makes it hard for him to get out of the house, it did not impair his desire for seafood. I called Blue Point and learned we could pick up anything on their menu to go. The large scallops were gently browned and tenderly DIVINE. They were served with a heavenly sauce and whipped potatoes topped with crisped onions. I did not know scallops could taste so wonderful. The halibut was lovingly nestled with whipped sweet potatoes. The salmon was grilled and dressed up with capers, tomatoes (was that cilantro sliced super thin?) to deliciously and boldly complement the halibut and scallops. I've traveled and eaten great food around USA, France (including Paris, Beaune, et al), Italy and Israel. I stand by my statement that our food from Blue Point was world class quality and flavor did not suffer (just totally yummy) after transporting it a hop-and-a-skip to our appreciative uncle. When food is prepared with love we can taste it. The highest compliment I can pay is that we could taste the love. Thank you, Blue Point, for sharing your love of food with folks who have physical challenges, and still love delicious food.
Great Bar... Good Fish... Pip-Squeek Sized Lobster – In short, they have fine fish, a great bar, and they are right off Lake Minnetonka. They have disappointing sized lobsters.
They didn't ever know what sea salt was... they brought Kosher salt, which works fine.
With the lake across the street from this upscale seafood restaurant, it's easy to imagine you're in a seaside town. – In Short
Wood-shake siding, trophy fish and old plank floors give the Blue Point the look of a decades-old seaside eatery. The dark, woodsy bar offers full menu service for those who don't venture into the more formal dining rooms. Bluebloods come in for dependable surf-and-turf Sunday dinners, but a new crowd comes to the oyster bar and lively happy hour. The seafood menu changes nightly, although fresh-from-the-tank lobsters and crabs are always available.
A Poor Man's Oceanaire – Well, not a poor man, a less well off man. This is a restaurant that fills the gap between the Outbacks and the $100-a-plates. The service was great, even if timing was a little off (gaps between appetizer/salad, and salad/entree), and the food was flavorful. My shrimp tasted fresh, as did my wifes snapper, and the house specialty dessert, key lime pie, was great. The wine list was impressive, and the calamari (with aioli) was VERY good. And we walked out for about $50 each (with appetizer, entrees, salads, potato and glass of wine). The ambience was in keeping with the rest, and very reminiscent of Oceanaire (except for the occasional train across the street, visible out the window). One comment on a previous review This restaurant doesnt serve lunch, so there is no $10 sandwich.
Great Food and Service . . . Good Locale – If they would knock down some of those buildings across the street, this place would also have an excellent view of Lake Minnetonka! Expect a selection of a half-a-dozen or so fresh seafood and oyster choices (they vary somewhat every day) in adition to all the seafood restaurant standards. Everything is prepared exceptionally well and the service staff is quite competent. Granted, there are many FANCIER locales. . . but I'd rather not pay for high rent and upholstery. Probably the best Calamari in town. A little batter, crisply fried. And if you call ahead with special requests, they will do their utmost to comply. The bar gets a little boisterous most nights and especially on Fridays. That makes for a noisy meal if you are in the nearby dining room. But if you prefer peace and quiet, just ask for another room.
Best Happy Hour In Town! – Clamari is tender because it's fresh, not frozen. Happy hour has calamari, mussels and 4-5 other dishes for around $5. Great atmosphere; quiet without being pretentious--teriffic dining rooms, great place to meet and talk. The food is always well prepared and the fish fresh.

Pollution prevention: Technical assistance programs
MPCA programs
Technical assistance is available for existing and new businesses that seek to improve environmental performance and prevent pollution.
- Small Business Environmental Assistance Program (SBEAP)
SBEAP provides free, non-regulatory, confidential environmental assistance to small businesses. The focus is on compliance assistance with an additional emphasis on pollution prevention opportunities to reduce regulatory burdens for small businesses.
- Environmental Audit Program (EAP)
EAP encourages industries, businesses, and governments to examine how well a facility's operations are complying with local, state, and federal environmental regulations, and correct any problems that are identified. The program focuses first on technical assistance and compliance, rather than enforcement, with the thought that organizations that conduct environmental audits are likely to take the necessary actions to correct problems, before the problems can develop into major environmental or public health issues.
- Environmental Management Systems
Many Minnesota facilities already have quality management systems such as ISO 9000 or environmental management systems like ISO 14000 in place. Staff at MPCA have been trained in ISO systems so that pollution prevention can be integrated into existing programs.
- One Stop Program
In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, MPCA can help businesses navigate through the various environmental regulations they may face in the expansion or creation of their business. The goal is to make regulatory compliance a smoother, friendlier, more efficient experience for Minnesota businesses.
Our partners
The MPCA provides financial support to several technical assistance providers in Minnesota, including strategic partnerships with the University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
- MnTAP
The Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP), located on the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus, focuses on pollution prevention assistance to manufacturing and service industries.

MnTAP's services are designed to help businesses reduce costs by preventing pollution at its source. Call MnTAP at 612-624-1300 or 800-247-0015 in Greater Minnesota.
In 2010, MnTAP helped clients eliminate 105,552 pounds of waste and pollution, reuse 57,457 pounds of materials, and conserve 17.4 million gallons of water. In addition, energy efficiency activities resulted in a savings of 3.5 million kWh and 307,210 therms. Total cost savings to business was $1.3 million.
- Minnesota ReTAP
Minnesota ReTAP focuses on waste reduction assistance to non-manufacturing commercial and service facilities. The assistance is provided by retired engineers, scientists and managers, each with 30-40 years experience in business, technology and waste reduction. Upon request, a team of 2-3 retirees will tour your facility looking for ways to minimize waste and improve the energy efficiency of your operations. Minnesota ReTAP is funded by MPCA and housed in the MnTAP offices. For more information or to request a FREE assessment, call 612-624-1300 or 800-247-0015 toll free and ask for the retired engineer program.
- Minnesota Waste Wise
Minnesota Waste Wise is a non-profit assistance program of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. It is designed to help businesses develop effective waste reduction and recycling programs and find new markets for waste materials. Benefits of membership include newsletters, a guidebook, site visits and individualized assistance. Membership is $200. For more information, call 651-292-4681 or toll-free 800-821-2230.
- Minnesota Materials Exchange
The Minnesota Materials Exchange is a free service that connects businesses that have reusable goods to those who can use them. The Materials Exchange can help you find low or no-cost materials, save money on disposal costs and find new markets for surplus materials.

- Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)

text: Mindy Ward Archives Email Author Follow @@mindyLward Pasture Grasses Need Warmth Cool weather continues to dampen growth of pasture grasses Published on: May 9, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print It has been the typical Missouri weather pattern, two days with temperatures in the 80s and then three days of temperatures dropping into the 50s. And while there is plenty of precipitation, one University of Missouri forage specialist says it will take more warm weather to obtain optimal growth of pasture grasses. While there are some pastures greening up across the state, these fields are not putting on the pounds of dry matter needed by the state's graziers. In fact, some livestock producers are still feeding winter hay. Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri forage specialist, says he hears two frequent complaints: The grass is not growing. And there are more weeds than usual.Kallenbach says this year is the time for rotational grazing to extend forage. Graze the grass down to a 3-inch stubble, remove the herd, and let the grass rest for 30 days. Farmers should manage growth of pasture grasses to extend grazing well into June. Warm weather needed He says the first complaint is a result of the cool spring. For pasture grasses to grow there needs to be warm sunshine, he explains. Right now, there is plenty of moisture in the soil to support growth, but grey, overcast days do not facilitate plant growth. He says farmers across the state are finding one-third the growth of just one year ago in grazing paddocks. Last April, they were reporting growth averaging 90 pounds of dry matter per day per acre. This year, growth is less than 30 pounds per day. Kallenbach says with warm weather pastures will jump up quickly. Sugars from photosynthesis make rapid growth. However, he warns that if livestock producers have been grazing cattle on depleted pastures all spring it may be a slower recovery. Cattle nip off leaves that create energy for regrowth.~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~ He adds that this year is the time for rotational grazing to extend forage. Graze the grass down to a 3-inch stubble, remove the herd, and let the grass rest for 30 days. Farmers should manage growth of pasture grasses to extend grazing well into June. Turning cattle into pastures too soon can hurt that process. He says farmers should be patient before turning cattle out and wait for warmer days and more pasture grass growth. Weeds present a problem However, one thing that is growing in pastures is weeds. Kallenbach says this is due to a hot, dry summer last year. Weeds in pasture are filling bare spots caused when grass died in the drought. Winter annuals, such as henbit and chickweed, are nature's way of filling a void. The seed was already in the soil, waiting for a chance to grow. Cows will graze chickweed, which is nutritious. The only problem is that there is not much growth there. Cattle avoid henbit. The concern is what will fill those bare spots after winter annuals are gone, Kallenbach says. If crabgrass grows, that is good. If horse nettle grows, that is not good. Tall weeds shade grass and reduce growth. Some grasses, such as fescue, can be aggressive in reclaiming bare spots, given some good grass-growing weather. While the long-range outlook calls for a return to normal temperatures and an opportunity for more growth of pasture grasses, Missouri's weather is full of surprises, like snow in May.

Does the music in this thread have to be from trailers or video games?
If not:
If it is supposed to be from a movie/game:
Yeah. The electric guitar really goes hand-in-hand with the general design theory behind DW anyway, cuz it's like oldschool literature meets newschool design principles and action.

@Hayashida - That Cannibal Holocaust track was awesome.
@Clock - Speaking of songs with prominent rhythms:
You're right about a whole lot of production music being same-y and insubstantial. The average epic track, at least to me, is better than one of the best pop songs (the kind your workplace plays on the radio all day--the same overplayed songs on a 20-track loop).
EDIT: Forgot this one -

I don't understand you people. You have some niche pieces but none of the most obvious ones.

Yes, most epic music is orchestral, but if you think it's epic, post it. There's no need to ask "does this count."

A young girl with cystic fibrosis gets the night of her life.
Bailey Gutelius arrived at the Wells Fargo Center with a huge smile on her face, very excited to meet her idol, Selena Gomez.
Bailey got this huge opportunity thanks to social media and our FOX 29 viewers. Our Shawnette Wilson was there for the big night.
"I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't sleep. This is going to be amazing!" Bailey said.
It's not every day that a girl gets picked up in a limo and escorted to a Selena Gomez concert.
"It's like the best day of my life ever," she said.
It's even more of a dream come true though for 10-year-old Bailey.
"Seeing her backstage and then actually going to her concert," Bailey said outside. "… It's going to mean that I'm free, really, really free, and able to get outside."
Bailey has cystic fibrosis, is confined to a hospital room and gets constant intravenous medications.
"That's to shield it, just in case, like, somebody bumps me," the young girl said, showing an IV in her arm.
She stays at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. But on Friday, Bailey was allowed to trade in her hospital bracelet for a concert bracelet.
The tickets were a birthday gift for Bailey and sister, Taylor, from their grandparents.
Then, Bailey's mom reached out to FOX 29 and our viewers to help tweet Selena Gomez to meet Bailey before the show – and it worked.
"No, I never thought that before. I'm like, wow, this is amazing," Bailey said.
Amazing are these pictures of a beaming Bailey getting her wish.
Here she is in a one-on-one meeting with her idol, who she brought gifts for and says she has a lot in common with.
"These are pictures I made. That's Baylor, her dog. She has a dog named Baylor," Bailey said.
When Wilson noted the similarity in their names, Bailey said, "I know! My name is Bailey, and hers Taylor, and then Baylor, yeah," she said.
Inside the concert, Bailey danced the night away – something she hasn't been able to do much because of her illness.
"I really wanted to say 'thank you' to everybody," the young girl said.
The limo ride was donated by Carey Philadelphia. The chauffeur was so touched when we first aired a story on Bailey's wish.
After the concert, it's back to CHOP to finish treatments to strengthen her lungs. But it's an outing she says she'll never forget, Wilson reported.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

That's what volunteers in Jacksonville hope to teach their neighbors about pollution from storm water runoff.
"We're going to point out to people that if you throw it in the street, it ends up in the creek," said Sherry Blanton, the Jacksonville resident who organized an environmental education effort in the city.
She, along with fellow Master Gardeners and concerned residents, met Thursday morning for a project to mark city storm drains and distribute information about preventing non-point-source pollution — essentially pollution washed into waterways from stormwater.
"Non-point source pollution, or stormwater runoff, is the largest remaining source for pollution in the state or nationwide," said Allison Jenkins, director of the Alabama Clean Water Partnership.
Part of the difficulty with mitigating such pollution is that so much of what people do contributes to it.
"Everything we do matters," she said, from small actions like over-fertilizing lawns to pouring motor oil and litter directly into the drains.
Blanton was originally inspired to organize Thursday's event after seeing a presentation by Gail Russell of the Coosa River Clean Water Partnership — part of Jenkins' statewide organization — to the Calhoun County Master Gardeners. Blanton contacted the city of Jacksonville and County Commissioner Rudy Abbott, who each agreed to pay half the cost of the materials — about $300 for 100 decals that read "No dumping! Drains to creek" and the adhesive to affix them to the drains.
While many people assume that the water that runs into the drains goes into a sewer or treatment system, she said, Jacksonville's drains actually run into nearby creeks and then eventually into the Coosa River.
"It's a great project to get people to think about how they are connected to their local streams," said Frank Chitwood, director of Coosa Riverkeeper. He said this concept of connectedness is integral to the watershed concept his organization has been trying to push.
"The land is just as important to the river as the river itself," he said. All the water on the land goes to the waterways, he said.
Jacksonville, along with Anniston, Oxford and parts of Calhoun County, all operate under a single municipal separate storm sewer system permit — an MS4 to those in the know — for the county's urbanized area. The Environmental Protection Agency requires communities regulated under such permits to develop and implement a stormwater management program in order to reduce contamination of runoff and prevent illicit discharges into the system.
Mark Welsh, an engineer for the county and coordinator for the joint MS4 permit, said that to maintain the permit, the county and cities must engage in control measures set forth by the EPA, including public education and outreach and public involvement and participation.
The county, Welsh said, sometimes tries to piggyback on stormwater management education and outreach efforts run by advocacy groups in the Coosa River Basin. Projects such as marking drains in Jacksonville can help satisfy these requirements for maintaining the permit.
Blanton said the group of five worked for about two hours and completed about 25 decals, with one volunteer going door-to-door to distribute information.
"It was harder work than we thought it would be," she said of the process that includes scrubbing the drain clean with a wire brush and then meticulously affixing the decal, ensuring that it is sealed along the edges.
The volunteers, she said, will keep plugging away at the drains, which number "in the thousands," according to Stanley Carr, superintendent for Jacksonville's Street and Sanitation departments.
"As long as the money is available to purchase the decals," she said, "we as volunteers will continue to mark them and talk to residents about why it is so important."

Spikes are great, Special Attack and Defense are great. I suppose it is arguably tied with Gorebyss as the best Rain Dancer, and it might get some Spikes in. The typing is what it hurts the most.
The "sweeping," standard Omastar. Can demolish UU teams. Get a Rain Dance in, fire away from your blasting high Special Attack, Ice Beaming Dragons and Grasses. Quagsire is more of a threat than Mantine is (it is used much more there), so use Hidden Power Grass for that. Lum Berry is to cure status, mainly paralysis, which can ruin a sweep.
Defensive Omastar. Too bad its typing sucks so much. In the same kind of Spiker category as Cloyster: it damages other Spikers and Spinners badly, but isn't any good as a physical wall, though Omastar is probably even worse. Thief is a cool suicide move, stealing Leftovers can work in your advantage. Toxic and Protect work with Leftovers. Protect can stall time for you to recover with Leftovers, and it can scout Choice Banders, since for the most part, only Earthquake is going to hurt Omastar from Choice Banders (and STAB Fighting moves), so this really eases up prediction.
Other Options
Not much to see here, Omastar doesn't get Rapid Spin, Explosion, or a good Attack stat to use the physical moves it gets, and still it doesn't get much of that. I suppose Toxic and Tickle can work for Spikes abuse, a very little bit. Haze cannot be used with Spikes, and that's a letdown.
For the Rain Dancer, you need about 181 Speed (140 EVs), as you are faster than all but Electrode after a Rain Dance in UU. Then max out Special Attack, and put your leftover EVs in HP.
The other set needs maximum HP, a bit of Special Attack, and the rest in Defense. You're not taking any Special hits anyway, or if you are, you are dead.
Checks and Counters
Quagsire is actually healed by your Surfs, so if Omastar doesn't have Hidden Power Grass, it can have some difficulty. Mantine stops it if it doesn't have Hidden Power Electric. Other Waters can usually survive it and Surf back for the KO, like Golduck. For the rest, most UU Pokémon will take a big beating from this.
